Adds AK::SIMD::bitselect() (modeled after the wasm SIMD equivalent),
and AK::SIMD::abs() implemented on top of it.
No behavior change.
This warning is triggered when one accepts or returns vectors from a
function (that is not marked with [[gnu::target(...)]]) which would have
been otherwise passed in register if the current translation unit had
been compiled with more permissive flags wrt instruction selection (i.
e. if one adds -mavx2 to cmdline). This will never be a problem for us
since we (a) never use different instruction selection options across
ABI boundaries; (b) most of the affected functions are actually
TU-local.
Moreover, even if we somehow properly annotated all of the SIMD helpers,
calling them across ABI (or target) boundaries would still be very
dangerous because of inconsistent and bogus handling of
[[gnu::target(...)]] across compilers. See
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64706 and
https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/17qowl2/comment/k8j2odi .
This approximation tries to generate values within 0.1% of their actual
expected value. Microbenchmarks indicate that this iterative SIMD
version can be up to 60x faster than `AK::SIMD::exp`.
